Club Likya Apartments

Complex was immaculate and cannot be faulted for cleanliness. Staff were very very helpful, attentive, polite, fun and courteous. Location good, if you like a nice stroll 10-15 mins to the main beach strip. Food was lovely and the BBQ night was great with all staff joining in! We would say rooms are only good for two people tho as no air conditioning in the living room with the sofa bed. There were 3 of us and we ended up taking another room so the 3rd person could get a cool nights sleep. View from our room at back of apartments was not great, looked onto a childs play area and building with graffitti on it, but the owners at Club Likya cannot control this so not their fault. Nor the fact that we had a 14 yr old Turkish boy stalking us each day!! From morning to night for 7 nights he sat in the childs play area staring at our balcony and even moving to get a better view when we covered the rails with our towels, which made us uncomfortable. Next time we visit we will ask for a room overlooking the front at the pool. Weather was terrific and the breeze each day helped us cool down. All the bar staff and maintenance guys were terrific and couldn't be nicer. Senol is a gentleman. Will defo come back, they are pairing up with Thomson again in 2010 so will only have 17 of their rooms available for direct bookings.

Club Likya is a great place to stay. Staff are friendly, Maids clean everyday. Great barbeques. I stayed for two weeks. It was still fun when I got second degree burns lol. Ronaldo and Hussain are great dancers and entertained me. 10/10

This has to be one of the best holiday resorts in Turkey, All the staff are very Friendly and help full especially the manager Senol.The rooms are immaculate and very spacious. There is heaps of things to do and your only a 10 minute walk to the beach front. The best nights are the BBQ nights where after you've eaten they play dancing games. All in all a top holiday.

What a lovely place,fantastic service by all the staff,can't do enough for you! BBQ night was great,excellent food.Rooms spotless,cleaned daily.Natalie's steakhouse a great place with regular transport from outside hotel.Boat trip was great also,will def be going back next year.

This Hotel Is Lovely!
The Rooms Are Basic But They Are Very Clean and Comfy. The Maids Are Always Cleaning Everyday!
The Staff Are so Lovely and Friendly. They Make You Very Welcome. They Go Out Of Their Way to Help you, No Job Is Too Big.
Food Is Lovely and Of A Good Price, Pool Area Is Good. Hotel Also Offers A Good Excahnge Rate.. Which Is A Plus.
All in All Its Fab!
Will Be Returning Next Year.
Cousins Over The Road From This Hotel Is Mint!
Wouldnt Reccommend Apex.Not To Friendly..and Thats Not Just Based On My Experience Heard Lots Of Horrd Things.

I returned to the apartments after a wonderful stay last September to find nothing had changed the apartments were exactly as I had left them in pristeen condition.
Point to note: keep away from the Cousins bar across the road from Portabello Hotel they are rip off merchants. buy one get one free is not what is seems when you raise the price to cover the free drink. you have been warned.
Hassan and Senol were there to keep an eye on everything as usual, the bar staff now led by adnan, feridun are there to ensure every need is taken care off.
Murat is still whirling about doing anything and everything that requires doing. The girls are still keeping the rooms spotless and even had time to indulge in a little turkish dancing with me ( nice for me )
All in all we were joined this time by my 2 sister inlaws and my brother in law who enjoyed them selves as well.
Had a good scrub session in the Turkish Hamman good value
If your looking for a good english breakfast at the top end of Marmaris try the Serenity Apartments

This has to be the best kept secret in the holiday world. I have never been looked after so well, any sign of rowdiness is quickly dealt with or unruly guests are quickly moved off the grounds.
The food is very good, and the all the staff are very kind and helpful. I have to admire the cleaners who are on the move from dawn till dusk. The pool is cleaned daily and after 2000hrs the pool is disinfected overnight.
The grounds are well maintained by Murat who is like a whirling derbisher on his own never resting. The hotel has safety boxes for hire and are in full view of reception where the ever watchful eye of Senol or Hassan or one of the receptionist are always available to help with your quieries. I will be arriving back at Club Likya on May 26th for another fortnight of excellent service. The rooms can hold up to 4 person as there is a fold down bed settee in the front room, the kitchen is adequate and all items for cooking are supplied. The bar never closes as long as your standing ( not falling down ) and the long hours the bar staff put in are incredible. even at 0500 hrs I have seen people being served, the bar doesnt only serve alchol but a large variety of soft drinks.
The Club Likya is situated about 15 minutes walk ( dont do it on a hot afternoon ) from the main street but a dolmus runs past the through road ever 10 to 15 minutes and costs next to nothing to travel on. ( take note all british bus private operators u could learn a lot from these dolmus operatives )
Icmeler is about 30 to 40 minutes away by dolmus and is well worth a good look, the food in the Venice restraunt ( locanta ) is very good and the boys will look after you very well. Also if you are looking for that special some thing for your girl friend wife or partner try Firuze jewlery on the main street on the way into marmaris both Sona and Murat will look after you and you will be suprised at the evaluation of the piece when you get back to home.
Other things to do Scuba Diving is brilliant and I completed the 4 day course whilst there , dont be afraid its well worth the effort. Boat trips round the bay another nice way to see the coastline and visit Turuc a small village named after orange trees although u can get a dolmus to the village from outside tansas in the town centre.
Market days are well worth a look, although since they have moved Marmaris market into the new building it has become impossible to see or buy anything and the place is so hot and over crowded,
Icmeler market is still out doors and if you go either go early or late to miss the crowds and of course dont forget to haggle a little u do get to enjoy the banter with the stall holders.
If you suffer from bad tummies while u are there as I did when i first visited then I discovered Iran its a turkish yogurt drink slightly salted you can buy this in any of the supermarkets drink it is settles your tummy I now drink at least 2 glasses a day while im over there.

We met up with good friends of ours from Singapore at Club Likya in July. It was the ideal place for us to meet up (mid-way between us) and the best holiday we ever had. Our friends (for whom it was a late honeymoon) were in tears leaving. They were returning home two days before us. The hotel is spotless, the cleaners never stopped working and all the staff were wonderful. Jasmine, the receptionist was so gentle and beautiful yet efficient. Senol, the owner, could not do enough to help us including serenading us from the bar as we sunbathed. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. As stated in other reviews there was no problem getting a sunbed despite it being high season. It is ideally situated not too close to Marmaris centre yet close enough to enjoy a leisurely stroll at night. Dolmuses run every few minutes for those who want to venture into the centre. For health reasons I am limited in what I can drink and as the bar did not stock the drinks I require I asked if I could take my own to the pool. Senol had no problem with this which I did discretely for fear of anyone else thinking it was permissable to do the same with drinks which could be purchased from the bar. Someone has said they were told off for taking their own drinks to the pool but we have found this is what happens in most accommodation although in bigger places it is difficult to enforce. There are plenty of other places to eat if you want a change and we found the nearby Cinders restaurant owned by Phyll and Ahmet delicious. Of particular mention was their apple crumble which Martin from Singapore demolished pretty quickly. If you want a large impersonal complex with nightly entertainment and being wakened during the night then Lykia is not for you. If you want somewhere which is just about perfect give it a go. We tried to book again for September but they were booked out. When we tried to book for next year we learned that only private bookings are being taken so we have booked our flights separately and are looking forward to returning and having a ball once more. See you soon Senol!

i rated the hotel as a 5 because eventhough it was a relaxing hoilday i thought they could of had some more facilaties for the children that was stopping there. i thought the staff was very welcoming and friendly and helpful.. i would stay here again but i would like to see me improvements.

This was our first visit to Turkey. The staff, accommodation and location of the Club Likya Apartments could not have made it more memorable and enjoyable if they had tried.
I would like to talk about the apartments first. We had four adults staying in our apartment. There was plenty room (could do with more wardrobe space though!). The apartments were clean and fresh.
The grounds and pool area were cleaned every day. The staff were fantastic!! Everyone was very friendly and made you feel welcome.
Marmaris has a lovely harbour area where we found plenty of nice restaurants. The 'Jan Di Wit' Restaurant was our favourite.
The only thing we did not like, but you get to a point where you just ignore it, was that every restaurant you passed they tried to call you over to get you to use their restaurant. Sometimes if you pass one restaurant and go in to the one next door, when you come out the one you passed will accost you as to why you did not use their restaurant.
But that did not spoil the holiday or the experience of Turkey, Marmaris or the Likya Apartments (who I can't praise enough). We are seriously thinking of going back next year. If we do we will be staying at the Likya Apartments.
